A family-owned lodge since the 1970s, it is surrounded by dense forest a few miles from the Siskiyou National Forest, far from the busier stretches of the Pacific Northwest. Rooms, suites and riverside houses open onto the water, with stone fireplaces and wood interiors throughout. Days are spent kayaking, fishing, hiking or taking jet boat trips upriver, with an outdoor pool, a sauna and massages back at the lodge, and dinner is served family-style each evening.
Hotel Humano
HotelNorth America, Mexico

Hotel Humano is a 39-room hotel by Grupo Habita in La Punta Zicatela, the surf neighborhood of Puerto Escondido on Mexico’s Oaxacan coast, set on a pedestrian-only street a short walk from Playa Zicatela. Architect Jorge Hernández de la Garza designed a cluster of buildings in concrete, clay tiles, brick and tropical wood, while Plantea Estudio shaped interiors furnished by local artisans. Rooms flow between sleeping, bathing and lounging areas divided by freestanding walls and curtains, each one decorated with drawings by artist Lucio Muniain. A garden restaurant serves Oaxacan cooking, and the rooftop, with its sunset pool and fire pits, opens every late afternoon.
Casa Polanco
HotelNorth America, Mexico
From $600
Casa Polanco is a 19-room boutique hotel in Mexico City’s Polanco district, set directly across from Parque Lincoln and a short walk from Avenida Presidente Masaryk and the city’s best restaurants. It joins a restored 1940s Neocolonial mansion, recognized by Mexico’s National Institute of Fine Arts, with a contemporary building designed by architect Claudio Gantous. Rooms feature walnut floors, custom furniture and, in many cases, balconies over the park or the inner courtyard.

La Valise Bacalar
HotelNorth America, Mexico
From $330
La Valise Bacalar, formerly known as Boca de Agua, is a design-led retreat on the shore of the Laguna de Bacalar, in Mexico’s Quintana Roo, around four hours south of Tulum. Created by architect Frida Escobedo and now part of the Design Hotels collection, it spreads across a wide stretch of jungle, with suites raised on stilts among the trees and built from natural materials to protect the lagoon’s fragile ecosystem. The lagoon is known for its seven shades of blue and for its ancient stromatolites, which guests can explore by paddleboard, snorkel or eco-tour. Days end at the outdoor pool, the spa or the lagoon-side beach club, with the colonial town of Bacalar a short drive away.
The Greenwich Hotel
HotelNorth America, United States
From $550
The Greenwich Hotel opened in 2008 on a cobbled corner of Greenwich Street in Tribeca, co-owned by Robert De Niro and built to blend into the neighborhood’s classic brick façades. Its 88 rooms are each designed differently, with Carrara marble, Moroccan tiles and handmade details, and many overlook a quiet Tuscan-style courtyard. Below ground, the Shibui Spa holds a lantern-lit pool under the roof of a 250-year-old Japanese farmhouse, transported from Kyoto and reassembled by Japanese craftsmen, along with treatment rooms and a lounge where matcha is whisked to order. Andrew Carmellini’s Italian restaurant Locanda Verde occupies the ground floor.
The Standard, High Line
HotelNorth America, United States
From $240
The Standard, High Line rises 18 stories above Washington Street in the Meatpacking District, lifted on concrete stilts so that it straddles the High Line, the elevated rail line turned public park. Designed by Polshek Partnership, now Ennead Architects, and completed in 2009, the concrete-and-glass tower draws on the language of Le Corbusier. Its 338 rooms all have floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Hudson River or the city skyline. At street level, The Standard Grill and a beer garden sit beneath the park, the plaza becomes an ice rink in winter, and on the roof, Le Bain pairs DJs and sunset views with a seasonal plunge pool.
Aman New York
HotelNorth America, United States
From $2,800
Aman New York occupies the Crown Building, a 1921 Beaux-Arts tower at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street that once housed the first home of the Museum of Modern Art. Restored and redesigned by Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston, it brings Aman’s Asian minimalism to Midtown, with rice-paper paneling, oak, walnut and marble. Guests arrive through a double-height atrium on the 14th floor, and all 83 suites, starting at around 750 square feet, have working fireplaces and freestanding tubs. The three-floor Aman Spa holds a 65-foot indoor pool lined with daybeds, and the hotel also has a year-round garden terrace, two restaurants and a jazz club.
Hotel Chelsea
HotelNorth America, United States
From $500
Hotel Chelsea rose on West 23rd Street in 1884 as a co-op for artists, a twelve-story red-brick Victorian with cast-iron balconies that was briefly the tallest building in New York. Over the following century it became home to writers, painters and musicians, from Dylan Thomas to Patti Smith, some of whom paid their rent in artworks. After an eleven-year restoration it reopened in 2022 with 125 rooms and 30 suites, keeping its art collection, while long-term residents still live among the guests. El Quijote, the city’s oldest Spanish restaurant, opened here in 1930 and still has its Don Quixote murals, joined by Café Chelsea, the hotel’s first official Lobby Bar and a spa.
The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel
HotelNorth America, United States
From $1,024
The Carlyle has occupied its Art Deco tower at Madison Avenue and East 76th Street since 1930, a block from Central Park on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Its 190 rooms and suites lean residential, larger than most of the city’s historic hotels, with some suites keeping grand pianos. Bemelmans Bar holds the only public commission by Ludwig Bemelmans, creator of the Madeline books, whose 1947 murals show Central Park through the seasons, and live jazz plays every night. Café Carlyle, the hotel’s cabaret and supper club, is decorated with murals by Marcel Vertès, while Dowling’s serves classic New York dishes and the Valmont Spa offers treatments upstairs.
